I knew Gary from Bulldog website, he later created Bulldog porch, a site we all frequented and felt at home sharing love for our favorite breed, bulldogs. Gary's kindness, sense of humor, care and support was always there for all of us. He made us laugh, care for each other and love more. I miss him very much but know he is surrounded and loved by many of our beloved bulldogs who crossed before and after him. Bernata

My two miss Gary.

I knew Gary only from the online English Bulldog community but I counted him among my real friends. He was a wonderful person, a man of good humor and grace and I miss him. All of us from the online communities will always remember him.

Gary, you are greatly missed by your friends on the website you initiated, The Bulldog Porch. You lived your life by the same tenets you asked of others; be kind and especially be a voice for animals in need. You set a high bar for others to follow, and will remain in our minds and hearts for many many years to come. Hugs. -E.

Gary was such a kind, compassionate and intelligent man. I know he was well known for his love of animals, but for me, it was his love for people that I admired most. He treated people with dignity, and respect, and kindness, without them having to pass any test. It did not matter to him if they were very different than he was. The world needs more men like Gary in it. It was a very sad day when he left it. RIP Gary. You are so missed.

I have never been the best with words and Gary was so eloquent. I do know there has not been a day that Gary has not crossed my mind. We met because of English bulldogs and became friends. Mostly talked through email and Facebook. I miss him. I hope he knew the impact he had on so many lives. He made a big impact on mine. I am so blessed to have had his friendship. Love you Gary.
Love always,
Rebecca.

To the Landry Family, I only knew Gary through Facebook, but we shared many common interests: love of animals (especially bulldogs)and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird among others. We were looking forward to trip to Louisiana to meet Gary in person. As an Alabama fan, I enjoyed our repartee on Alabama vs. LSU. May Gary rest in peace and enjoy his time in heaven with his past pets.

Wayne, Kenneth, and Landry family: My condolences on your loss. I had the previledge of knowing and working closely with Gary while at the IRS. He was a good friend and colleague. Over the years, we had taken several trips together and the most memorable one was at Astro World in Houston back in early '80s. He enjoyed himself so much one day that he got sick on one of the rides. My prayers and thoughts are with all at this difficult time. He is now at peace with God.
